THE NEW YORKER sounded terrible. But, as she had start- ed to say, she did know "April Show- ers," and played it, with a great deal of feeling and many trehle ripples. She and a boy named Art Lapham- "Oh, him," said Dave, and as he spoke he leaned over her and placed an experimental finger on a white key and appeared to be surprised when it emit- ted a note. "There was one call- ed 'The Lonesome Mama Blues,'" he said. "Remember? " She couldn't recall that, either. There was "I \Vas Blue," though; did either of them remember that one? N either of them did, but she played it just the same. It seemed it had been in a show called "Merry Merry," and she had gone to the show with Marshall Stringer-you know, the halfback. He was practically the first man she'd ever seen wearing a high hat, and when he called for her, she had been simply over- come. To descrihe the height of Marshall Stringer's hat and the breadth of his shoulders she had to use both hands, and meanwhile Dave began to pick out a melody, cautiously, experimental- ly, uncertainly. Eventually, just when Marshall Stringer was disposed of, it turned out to be "The Vamp." " 'The V amp'!" she said. "Oh, my goodness, I haven't thought of that in years," and she began to play it in a way that bore out her admission. At the end there was silence, and both men waited to learn whom it reminded her of. j\p- parently it didn't remind her of any- body. Then Dave cleared his throat. "Cla- rice Shields," he announced. There was a distinct note of triumph in his voice. "Clarice Shields, she always played that. She was a very hot number, Clarice." His wife got up from the bench. "Surely there's no need to be vulgar, is there, dear?" she said, and walk- ed away. Dave merely sat down and be gan to search for the proper key again. " 'Vamp a little la-dy,' " he mur- mured, contentedly, "'vamp a lit-tle la-dy . . .'" -RICHARD SHERMAN . The advance guard of the minnows arrived on Sunday at low tide. Yester- day bathers were astonished to feel large fish scraping ag-ainst their legs, literally driving many to the shore. Some tried successfully to catch the fish in their bare hands. Others rushed to find nets, sieves, and any other kitchen utensil ca- pable of retaining water.- T he Herald Tribune. You should have seen us with our colander!
